Legend Amrapali Contemporary Indian Jewelry

With bold looks in both 18k gold and silver, celebrities at every age, from 20s to almost 70s, are clamoring to wear Legend Amrapali.  This new contemporary fine jewelry line is modern and fresh, drawing inspiration from Eastern mythology and captivating women with the meaningful symbolism behind the Indian inspired designs.  The line is extremely robust including fashion-forward modern collections, as well as more classic, heritage pieces.  

Legend Amrapali will finally go LIVE with its new E-commerce platform, Legendamrapali.com, its first direct to consumer experience for North America.  The site will serve as the online introduction of Amrapali's new contemporary fine jewelry brand, Legend Amrapali, which recently debuted this past fall, in-store, at Dover Street Market New York.  Handcrafted in Jaipur and inspired by the rich culture and heritage of India, Legend Amrapali breathes new life into centuries-old Indian jewelry-making traditions and infuses a contemporary twist by delicately combining the mystery of India's traditions with modern design.   

The new E-commerce platform will be the first opportunity for consumers to enjoy a much broader assortment of Legend Amrapali.  From breathtaking 18k yellow gold statement pieces to big and bold pieces in sterling silver, the collection is chic and modern for everyday easy elegance.  Petite stackable silhouettes and diamond solitaire pieces set in a traditional stone setting technique called Kundan capture a more traditional Indian look and feel. Believed to have originated in India, Kundan is considered to be one of the world's oldest methods of setting gemstones, and the Kundan Vintage Diamond Collection has already become a favorite of celebrities and retailers alike with pieces that start at $650.

Jewelry from India has influence around the globe

Legend Amrapali's Indian influence can be seen throughout the new site with its powerful, visceral campaign imagery of an ethereal beauty embracing the grace, spirituality and complexity of emotion expressed through dance, of which the Legendary Indian courtesan, Amrapali, was known.  Bold hero pieces featured on raw surfaces symbolize the harmonious blending of rich history and tradition with new, modern ways.  Prominent references to the Lotus, revered as the flower of India, can be seen throughout the site and various collections, as well as immortalized in the Legend Amrapali logo.

Four decades later, Amrapali has 38 locations throughout India; and in London, a flagship store in Knightsbridge as well as shop-in-shops at both Harrods and Selfridges. Today, Amrapali's future remains with the family, as Rajiv's son Tarang Arora and his wife Akanksha Arora are Co-CEO and Creative Directors.  It is one of India's most prolific jewelers and its influence is increasingly sweeping the West, with a growing presence in the United States.  Their tradition of blending honored heritage with modern influence continues with the launch of Legend Amrapali.
